It was a Psionic 1 Thri-kreen. It took me about a week since I had only skimmed the XPH befor this and I prefer to read up on something befor I do it. The party was almost to level 4 all around so my character would start the game at lvl 1 with no negative levels.Turns out the DM hadn't really read the XPH either so when he saw my character he said that he was way too powerful even for a +2LA. So he restricted me to only +0LA races. It would have been nice to know this befor I spent a week building a character but thats not what I am posting about.Do you think that a Thri-kreen is only a +2LA race or is that an understatment? This is my first time posting racial traits so I'm hoping I am formatting this right.+2 str, +4 dex, -2 int, +2wis, -4chaMonstrous humanoid type (immune to humanoid only spells)Size: Medium; speed 40; darkvision 60Immune to magic sleep effects+3 natural armorMultiple limbs (4) each with 1d4 claws; can take Multi-weapon fighting (two-weapon fighting) and multi-attack (same but for natural weapons) featsPoison bite 1/day 1d6 dex and paralysisweapon familiarity (2 racial exotic weapons)naturally psionic (1 power point at first level)Psi like abilities 3/day --chameleon, know direction1/day --psionic displacement, metaphysical claw2d8 racial hit dice; BAB +2; saving throws Fort +0, Ref/Wis +35x(2+int mod) skills+4 hide in arid regionsdeflect arrows; + one bonus featLanguages: Common, Thri-kreen + bonuses.Favored class: RangerLA+2Another race that I came across is Dragonkin.

Comments? Flames?-edit: forgot the reason I posted this in this forum. How would you go about nerfing these races to be +0, or at least +1?</blockquote>
